ComBricks 8 Channel PROFIBUS Digital Output Module

The ComBricks 8 channel digital output module allows you to build up a ComBricks system to respond to network events, or to create PROFINET remote I/O systems. The module has eight digital outputs, rated for 24VDC and 0.5 A per channel. The module’s outputs can also be controlled manually or by a timer through the web server (Output Control menu). In addition, the module will be able to be used in the future to create PROFIBUS DP slaves with I/O. The outputs can be configured in the ComBricks web server (Output Control menu) to respond directly to bus problems such as: bus voltage too low, master lost and retries. This unique feature allows applications to directly and independently act on the machine / process when the bus communication becomes unreliable. This is especially important when there are human safety or environmental impacts when a system goes down. Power switches, hold switches, indicators, backup systems, device I/O, doors and LED towers are examples of devices that can be hooked up to the outputs. The configured settings are saved and activated after reset or power-up.
